Pickle, I always look forward to your informative, artful underwater photographs. As for Pia’s interesting “sea snake” (scary!) topic, Google Pelamydrus platurus. Could that be a possibility? Thanks, again, for your many contributions.

Great photo also, CAGirl! You consistently provide some of the best photos, trip reports, and help here…thanks so much…

Congratulations, Gromit! I’m guessing you’ve just received your best early Christmas present news, ever! “Baby Gromit is apparently the size of a large Genip”…how adorable is that!! I hope you have an easy pregnancy, and you will love Motherhood! Enjoy your STJ vacation, sans alcohol...just more roo...

Nice pictures, Maggy. I like the close-up head shot of the iguana and the orange flowers are lovely. Funny thing…I just spoke with my brother who lives in Sweden this morning and he mentioned the nine or so inches of snow in his yard. He lives near Högsby. Now I have a first-hand photo of his winter...

Thanks for the tip! I like the "Deep Blue Sea" one with the starfish and shells, and the "Blue Zebra" (on sale, too) reminds me of sea coral! Now... which one to buy?

Linne, tillykke med din nye baby!
Best wishes to you and your family!
Congratulations!

Hope your B-Day is filled with surprises!

Bug,
How great is that!!! Hope your day tomorrow is filled with special things, too! Isn’t it fun, Bug and Marcia, having B-Days so close to Halloween? It always feels extra fun and more excuses to party longer!!!

Happy Birthday to my "almost birthday buddy", Marcia!
I have a significant one tomorrow; only wish mine was just 50...

Maryanne,
I sent you a PM.

How about people that are just plain CRASS!

Fantastic photos, Gromit. Thanks for the tour!

I am a sea glass scavenger but have yet to find any on the island. I know it's not the same, but you are welcome to have some of my many, many jars of sea glass that I've gleaned from our beaches north of Boston. I thought about making sea glass jewerly, but unfortunately I'm not that creative.

Thank you, Chet, Sea Turtle, carron, and lazylane for your imput. I thought it might be fun to stay in an unexplored area. Phyl, I look forward to your impressions of Fish Bay and the south shore beaches in your report. Here's hoping you have a fantastic week.

Has anyone stayed in a villa on Fish Bay? I am totally unfamiliar with this area. I suppose a down side would be that it is a longer drive to the north shore beaches. How are the beaches on this side of the islands? I've located a few new and very reasonably priced villas. Hope to hear from the regu...
